One Tired mama

I love being a mom, but sometimes I wish I could clock out. I’m tired. Not really tired if being a mom, but tired of the constant decisions that come with the job.

So tired of deciding what’s for dinner. Tired of planning everything for everyone in my household. Tired of everyone asking me what activities we have in the coming week. No one even attempts to remember what is going on; they just ask me.

I am also tired of feeling like I don’t have the permission to be tired. I don’t have a 9–5. Being a mom is my main job. Sure, I do online work to make a little money- very little. I run our school’s website and social media. I also run a nonprofit ministry that supports foster parents in our area, but I take no money from this ministry that I started a few years ago. I Quit My Job to Start a Nonprofit for Foster Families

But, I feel like I still have a right to be tired. A right to want to clock out from being a mom and just be an adult. A right to want my husband to plan a date night. A right to have a 24 hour period that I don’t have to make a decision for any other human being.

Am I alone in this? Are there other tired mamas out there?
